Selections from the Eric P. Newman Collection of World Coins. Mainz-Archbishopric. Emeric Josef gold Ducat 1771-DF, KM371, Fr-1680, MS61 NGC. Three-year type. A glassy-gold appearance around the protected areas benefits the eye-appeal with central devices that are well defined, but just short of fully struck. While the grade is appropriate, the appearance is certainly high end, with very few actual marks, and only blended handling that accounts for the grade. This scarce ducat carries the initials of mint-master Damian Fritsch on the reverse.Ex: "Colonel" E.H.R. Green; Green Estate' Partnership of Eric P Newman / B.G. Johnson. Krause catalog price(s) for this item: $750 in VF, $1200 in EF, $2500 in UNC.
Estimate: 3000-3500 USD
